ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for moving a retroverted uterus to an anterior position to facilitate visualization of the uterus during laparoscopic procedures and the like. The apparatus comprises an elongate rod having an arcuately curved manipulating arm pivotally mounted at the forward end of the rod. The arm is adapted to be inserted into the uterine cavity, and may then be manually pivoted into an upright position to reposition the uterus by manipulating a lever arm carried at the rearward end of the rod. The apparatus is adapted to be releasably attached to a standard tenaculum so as to become self-retained after the arm is inserted in the uterine cavity, and a latch is provided for releasably locking the arm in the repositioned setting.
